Basil seeds, also known as Sabja or Tukmaria seeds, are small, black seeds from the basil plant. They are packed with essential nutrients like fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids. When soaked in water, they become gel-like, similar to chia seeds, popular in drinks and desserts for their unique texture. Basil seeds are valued for promoting digestion, hydration, managing blood sugar, aiding weight loss, and offering antioxidant properties, contributing to overall well-being and vitality.
